All - supporters and dissenters:  The plain fact is that we quibble about $125 dollars (US), however, the plain facts of the truth are these:   The cybercrime business is making 6 Trillion Dollars per annum at the present time.   They are laughing at us, making hay, whilst we gamble and cajole with our employers to see the light.
